Also new for this release, the Cookbook is offered in online format, with color-coded code snippets and an easy clipboard copy feature that allows you to quickly copy and paste code directly into the editor of your choice. If you prefer the PDF version, Developer Force members can download it from developer.force.com/books/cookbook.

Thanks Caroline and the salesforce documentation team, the cookbook is a tremendous resource and this year’s additions look great and the online format is going to be very handy!
Keep up the great work
